Round Bend U Bolts

Circular U-shaped bolt

Hex bolts, also known as hexagonal head bolts, are threaded machine bolts used with a nut or in a tapped hole. As the name suggests, hex head bolts are hexagonal heads (6 sides) made from grade 2 galvanized steel, 316/304 stainless steel, and grade 5 zinc plated steel. Hex head bolts are designed to secure objects within or against other objects for a non-loosening hold. Applications for a hex bolt include fastening steel to steel, wood to wood, and other materials found on construction for projects such as highway structures, bridges, and buildings. The Hex bolts allow for greater torque than traditional circular screws and tend to spin as you tighten and loosen them, making the need to hold with a wrench or socket. Hex bolts are commonly installed and removed with socket wrenches.

Manufacturing Process of Heavy Hexagon Head Bolts
 

Material Selection

According to the strength level of the bolt to choose different materials, the market standardized parts are mainly carbon steel, stainless steel, copper three kinds of materials. Carbon steel is widely used because of its excellent workability and low cost. Stainless steel is suitable for specific environments due to its good heat and corrosion resistance. Copper is used for specialized applications because of its good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

 
 

Spheroidizing (softening) Annealing

For hexagon bolts produced by the cold heading process, e.g. hexagon socket cylindrical head bolts, the original organization of the steel affects the formability of the cold heading process. Therefore, spheroidizing (softening) annealing is carried out on medium-carbon and medium-carbon alloy steels to obtain a uniform and detailed spheroidized pearlitic body to meet the actual production requirements.

 
 

Pre-treatment

Before the hot forging process, the material is finely selected, de-oxidized, hammered and other treatment processes are carried out to improve the deformation capacity and continuity of the material.

 
 

Heating Of Billet

Adopt resistance furnace to heat the billet uniformly, to ensure that the whole billet has good plasticity and toughness under the hot deformation state. Pay attention to maintain the uniformity of the temperature of each part of the billet to avoid temperature deviation affecting the mechanical properties of the forging.

 
 

Forging

Forging is carried out on a 200-ton frame hydraulic press, and the billet heated to a certain temperature is placed in the forging die for deformation. Adopt continuous mold for forging, according to the shape of hexagonal bolts, using multiple cooling process to reduce the temperature, prevent deformation, improve forging quality.

 
 

Inspection

Multiple inspections are carried out during the production process, including appearance inspection, hardness inspection, tensile test, etc. to ensure product quality.

 
Precautions for the Use of Heavy Hexagon Head Bolts

 

Correct Selection Of Products

Before use, it should be confirmed that the mechanical properties of the product can meet the use requirements, such as the tensile strength of the hexagonal cup head screws and the guaranteed load of the nut. The length of the screw should be properly selected to ensure that the nut is exposed 1-2 tooth spacing after tightening.

 

Check The Condition Of The Threads

Before use, the threads should be checked for roughness and for iron filings or dirt between the threads, which often lead to locking. Therefore, it is very important to keep the threads clean and smooth.

 

Lubrication Treatment

Before use, you can do lubrication treatment to the fasteners, it is recommended to use butter, molybdenum disulfide, mica, graphite or talcum powder to do lubrication, and nowadays, it is common to use wax dipping treatment to do lubrication to prevent locking.

 

Appropriate Use Method
• The speed and force of screwing in should be appropriate, not too fast or too large. As far as possible to use torque wrenches or socket wrenches, avoid the use of activity wrenches or electric wrenches. Excessive speed may result in a rapid rise in temperature leading to locking.
• Direction of force applied, the nut must be screwed in perpendicular to the axis of the screw.

 

Use Of Washers

The use of washers is effective in preventing over-tightening of the locking problem.

 

Anti-loosening Treatment

In order to avoid loosening, you can take some anti-loosening treatment measures, such as adding a suitable spring washer in the middle of the hexagon socket screws and workpiece, or in the end of the hexagon socket screw threads to do drop-resistant point glue to increase the pressure and through the rebound force to increase the pressure and increase the effect of anti-loosening of hexagon socket screws The effect of anti-loosening of hexagonal screws can be increased.
